      Hi Dana,
      As I mentioned earlier, we do not keep records regarding how each person is
      related. However, I was able to piece some information together from the stone. It appears the dates you have are correct, but the pieces of the puzzle are not put together correctly. David died February 29, 1880 and was buried in the cemetery of St. Pauls Cathedral March 2, 1880. Once Woodland opened, everyone in the old cemetery was transferred here. He was moved here with two other family
      members in May of 1883. The stone says his wife was Anne, who died January
      5, 1883.
      As far as Mary, I have three listed. Mary A. Morrison, who died April 1, 1857, was the wife of Benjamin Morrison.
      # 2 Mary Erskine, died May of 1856, was only a child of about 9.
      # 3, Mary Erskine died August of 1875 at 18. The way the records are worded, I believe she was never married.
